Yeah...this seems to be a major difference between BG and Icewind Dale (haven't played BGII yet). I remember being able to buy big ticket items much earlier (or rather, drool over them much earlier). There are a few items (armor, rings, etc), but as far as weapons & ESPECIALLY 'magic' bolts & arrows, there are only the ones that I find. This is super frustrating. I spend my whole time tippy-toeing to one baddie at a time, killing him, running away, healing, tippy-toeing, etc. Maybe I just want to make it thru the game with only 2 or 3 people in my group, and it was set up where you HAVE to have a maxed out group...oh well.
